Hello
Can someone tell me if it is kind of "normal" that the cooland hose is "bent" like that (marked with a red cross - hose goes to the heat exchanger to the inside of the car/dash)?
It looks like that it is a hose which is normaly almost straight and got bent in this 90 degree angle. The result: The hose is tapered by the bend. So if it has a diameter of lets say 30mm it is only 10mm now.
As this hose looks old and kind of original i wasnt sure if i should worry. Must be there since years now.

Can anyone tell me the part number? i might exchange it if i can get it around here.

 

Yes, it's normal. I replaced mine recently with new, and the new one was also bent like this. It really looks weird, but apparently it's OK.

Here are two pix of the new one fitted.

 

thank you so much for that fast response. stuff like that gives me sleepless nights because i want to find out whats wrong 😜

now my mind is free again. 😅😝

Thanks! I was wondering this too since mine looks similar.
